Reviews for Whiskey Joe's Bar & Grill - Tampa in Tampa, FL

I came here with my son and my sister brought her neice ... We came for lunch... It was beautiful.... We got to see dolphins... while we sat and ate our food.I ordered the nachos and I thought they were good but nothing special. My sister got theenchiladas dish and she wasn't happy with hers. We also got the 16 piece chicken wings and they were just normal wings from saylike a chain restaurant. But if I'm going to give a honest review , I feel like the prices are a little high compared to thequality of the food, it's more of the experience I guess that makes it great currently. There under construction at the moment,but that honestly didn't get in the way at all, they offer valet services , they also have outside seating and a outside bararea good for evening night outs , I've came to there outside bar area previously and it's very relaxing... Good for just a funchill night with friends or a partner. Read more

Doing 4 stars because I wasn't too pleased with the quality of the food. Ordered the LOADED ISLAND FRIES and they were good but... wasn't fresh. What I mean by that, the fries that weren't under all of the toppings weren't even crispy/hot. Were soft/soggy.I've had plenty of loaded fries where there's still a nice crunch even under the part that's loaded. I had the Nashville Hotchicken. Wasn't all that great. Was way more breading than actual meat. Also was fried way too hard(i usually like crispierchicken but not nearly burnt cripsy).I also couldn't enjoy my Miami vice frozen drink because of the straws used (and I dounderstand why those straws) but I basically had to wait until my drink started to melt to even be able to pull it through thestraw. With that being said, went through about 4 straws because they break down really fast when sitting in the drink. Read more

Let me start by saying the atmosphere here is amazing. It's a cool spot located right on the water on the outskirts of Tampa.... The outside tiki bar looks pretty fun but we didn't go there. We didn't mind the 20 minute wait to be seated but they ended upputting us at a bar table that was empty the whole time we waited. And it stunk like bar rot. Unfortunately it took over andhour for fish tacos and a grilled chicken sandwich. The food was basic. I thought there would be tons of seafood options butthere wasn't. $4.25 for a soda. They were out of sweet potato fries and gator bites. I would recommend going somewhere else ifyou're with a big group or with family especially with kids. Might be a fun place to hang out but I won't go back. It's abummer. They do offer valet parking for $6. Also the GM walked past our table 4 times and never said a word. Read more

View was gorgeous at sunset. Make a reservation, if not , good luck to you. Food was satisfying. Florida your seafood at lower... and high end levels has not impressed me yet. The atmosphere was great the night I went. I was not inside l, didn't go inside socan't comment on its interior. End of the day unwind.....go ! It is worth it. Food was not bad it may have been me and not beingin the mood for it. Read more

Super fun day! My out-of-state bestie came for a visit. She, I, and my toddler spent the day sampling drinks and relaxing with... our toes in the sand (they have a very large outdoor/beach seating area). The staff was extremely laid back but fun,knowledgeable about drinks and menu items, and fun to chat with while waiting. Now it's $$$-$ mixed drinks $11-15. Food wasdecent, above average but not great. I got shrimp and they were chewy. The people we sat next to were also great. Easyconversation, laid-back environment, and lots of laughs. Will DEFINITELY go back and add to the "take visitors" list. Read more

Whiskey Joe's is a tourist spot on weekends. Be smart if you're traveling; visit early during a week day. We absolutely loved... the view and food during our Tuesday morning visit. We got there around 11:30 am. There was no line for the beach seating, andour food and drinks were done relatively quickly! We ate at one of the tables, then enjoyed more drinks right at the water,bathing in the sun! I give 4 stars because it was a bit overpriced, and the fish and chips was soggy. The Gator bites were worthtrying, and the tacos were very good! The bartenders outside were very friendly and fast. I would definitely go back around thesame day/time for more tacos! Read more

The food was pretty good and I was a fan of the atmosphere. My only issue was there was like 6 girls at the hostess stand and... after we got on the wait list we looked at the souvenirs and when we wanted to buy one they all just stared at us. After askingus if we wanted to buy one we said yes and put it by the register. They stared at us more then turned around and went back totalking. Other than that it was a pretty good experience. Our waitress was super helpful and the food was good. The drinks werereally tasty as well and definitely not weak haha Read more

Lots of potential! There’s a lot to be said about this place, so hang tight! Food: some of the must try are the gator bites... and the fish and chips! Both were succulent. If you’ve never tried alligator and you want to do so, here is the place!Atmosphere: is safe and relaxing. Staff: OMG, they are so short for staff that it’s almost makes this place not worth going!When you on the beach and are trying to relax but want to order food/drinks and you can not get a waitress to come take yourorder even though you’ve asked 2 of them to come take your order, it destroys your peace. One thing I should mention as well,this was place has a perfect spot to see the sun set! So if you’re a crazy romantic person that wants to impress your partner,here is the place to take him/her.
